    Hume is responding to traditional views that right action can and should be determined by reason and Reason cannot influence the will. This is shown by the following: firstly‚ reason can never motivate action and secondly‚ reason can never oppose or prevent actions motivated by passions or emotions.

Probabilistic (or causal) reasoning is inductive;
